9. Most regrettable purchase? I would say the Nintendo 64  I got when they first came out. At the time, I’d had so much fun with my Super Nintendo that I believed that the N64 would be a continuation of same. I was also deeply suspicious of non-cartridge based games, because my experience with games on CD-ROM for my PC had been that they were poorly made and kind of boring.Â
Then, no games that I wanted to play came out for the N64, and the only game that I was interested in (Ocarina of Time) kept getting delayed... so I traded my N64 with my neighbor for a Playstation, and never looked back. Fuck you, Nintendo!
11. Have you ever made new friends from playing video games? For sure. I wouldn’t have met bitchshield​ if it weren’t for Persona 4, ryanvoid​ and I largely bonded over video games at first (particularly survival horror), and actually dawgoylelicious​, I think I started following you at first because of Mass Effect. Games have also been a formative part in my keeping friendships alive (devilyoudont​ and bmelts and currentlyonfire and huhwhatrightoh could probably attest to this to varying degrees). So I guess videogames are one of the keys to my heart.Â
38. A game you’re ashamed to admit that you like? You know the entire genre of games where you are a small business owner and the goal is to make money? I love all of those games. Both the clickathon frenzies like the Diner Dash series and the more laid back planning-centric games like the Chocolatier series. Also, I think Miss Management is one of the best casual games of all time and I wish they’d make a fucking sequel, because it was really well done.Â
I am kind of ashamed of how much I like these games because lol casual, but whatevs. Sometimes you just get tired of murdering orcs, you know?
